'Vote chori' row to intensify? Rahul Gandhi to hold press conference on Thursday

Pawan Khera did not specify the issue Gandhi would raise in the press conference.

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi will be holding a press conference on Thursday, days after he claimed that he would soon come out with a "hydrogen bomb" of revelations about "vote chori".

Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera said on X, "Tomorrow September 17, Special Press Briefing by the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Shri Rahul Gandhi at 10 am at Indira Bhawan Auditorium."

However, Pawan Khera did not specify the issue Gandhi would raise.

Addressing the concluding event of his Voter Adhikar Yatra on September 1, Rahul Gandhi had claimed that his party will soon come out with a "hydrogen bomb" of revelations about "vote chori" and after that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not be able to show his face to the country.

Last month, Gandhi, citing data from the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, had claimed that over one lakh votes were "stolen" through manipulation in Mahadevapura assembly segment in Karnataka, and asserted that "vote chori" is an "atom bomb on our democracy".
